Strutting Into The Secret Life Of Coco Chanel
Chanel spent part of her childhood in an orphanage where she learned how to sew.
Born Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, in 1883, to street vendor, Albert Chanel, and laundrywoman, Eugénie Jeanne Devolle, Coco Chanel had five siblings. The family was very poor and lived in a one-room dwelling in Brive-la-Gaillarde, France. Her mother died when she was a child, and while her brothers and sisters were doled out to various family members, Coco wound up at the orphanage of the Catholic monastery of Aubazine.
The religious order the Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Mary took care of abandoned and orphaned girls and demanded that they live strict and disciplined lives without many comforts. While it wasn’t the ideal place to come of age, it’s where Chanel learned how to sew and became a seamstress, which would greatly benefit her later in life.
When she turned 18, she aged out of the system and moved to Moulins to stay at a boarding house for Catholic women. When she got older, Chanel hid her past from the public. She claimed to have lived with two aunts after her mother passed, as being impoverished and growing up as an orphan were then shameful ways of upbringing.
Chanel earned extra cash as a café singer, which led to her nickname.
